Energy Analyst

Cut energy waste across nine leisure centres for a week: find a night-time load that should not be there, catch a bill that charges for energy never used, build a case for pool covers, prove whether a new boiler saved anything, and report energy and carbon honestly.

What you'll build

Real portfolio pieces built during the course, not a certificate for its own sake. Each one is work you can show.

  • Overnight load investigationHow half-hourly data found a night-time load that should not be there: when it started, how big it is, what it costs in pounds and carbon, the cause, the fix and the proof.
  • Pool cover business caseA savings project built on measured evidence rather than a sales claim: the savings in energy and pounds, the cost, payback, carbon, and what could make the case wrong.
  • Savings verification noteWhether a project really saved energy, tested against a baseline model that allows for the weather and for use that does not depend on it, and what to do next.
  • Monthly energy reportThe month's energy report for trustees: each finding in pounds and carbon, the decision needed, what was fixed and what is still unproven, and the factors behind the carbon figures.
